Thread: Are We Addicted to MEDICINES ?

I have seen and discuss here a lot about taking medicines with out doctors description is bad. How ever are we addicted to medicines, Is that the real reason for taking medicines? Really I don't like to have a pain relievers like Panadol or Paracetamol for silly reasons. It becomes a good practice and never taking ill frequently. I believe my immunity system being in health condition because of this. More interestingly there have been no new antibiotics introduced since 1984.As a result the same medicine arrives in different name and color and then we trust it's new and started using it. It results that the bright feature becomes dark. Why Medical organizations not encouraging there researches? Is medicine turn into Service to Business ??

Good thing to discuss assassin.. people have started using these medicines for silly things which will lead them to side effects too. We should take good healthy food and do exercise regularly to reduce more than half of our health issues ..

Yes it is, feeling like we're using a medicine not for cure. Mostly medicines leads to a side effect and we're iin search for another medicine to cure that.
The medicines of current time getting worst than old time. Why is that?

We should understand some diseases are cure by our immune system itself, In fact by taking medicines we are stopping our immune system natural functions.

You got my point @wondergirl, really we're killing our own immunity system.

We aren't addicted. But we have been brainwashed to think that we need those medicines for each and every non-sense stuff. The media these days and the unqualified doctors do a very good job of doing the advertising and promotion for those routine tablets.

People's believe is that the western medicines are always better than the local medicines or Ayurvedic medicines.
